www.iFourWinns.com :: View topic - Boating with the dolphins (Videos)

This video was from Jan 2009, but I don't think I ever posted it on FW.

While traveling south in the Ocean along South East Florida, we were fortunate to have a pod of Dolphin join us and swim in close proximity with the boat. I estimate there were about 20-30 dolphin swimming with us. Many in the wake, some right next to the stern and outdrive, some along the bow. They stayed with us for about 20 minutes.

These videos were shot from my previous boat (1987 Chaparral 197CXL). The people are: Pete and Walt (2 of my brothers), Dana (Sister in law), and myself. The speed was a slow planning speed, so probably about 20mph.

Great stuff. We get dolphins over here in the summer months too, and are usually lucky enough to see them once a year at lease. It's something i never tire of, they are beautiful creatures and the way they swim with the boat is just brilliant. Sometimes you worry you'll 'run them over' as they're so close to the bow! Great videos
